Hansa Sailing Corporate Values and Vision

Hansa
Sailing aims to combine simplicity in design with value for money. The
company strives to achieve efficient manufacturing procedures and
minimal waste, provide an enriching and positive work place for its
employees, and minimize negative impacts on the environment. were
originally designed to appeal to that huge majority of the world's
population who would love to have a go at sailing, but find it too
difficult or uninviting to do so. The result is a series of safe, stable
and easy to sail craft that offer beginners and experienced sailors
lots of fun – for recreation or competition sport. Hansa Sailing’s
design features allow total novices of any ability to sail with little
or no tuition, almost regardless of the conditions. More experienced
sailors enjoy the lively response and fun of close one-design class
racing. Together, the series of Hansa sailboats provide a development
pathway of stepping stones from novice to high performance sailing.

Origin of the Hansa symbol

The
Hansa Swan represents perfect union and balance – a vehicle for the
harmony of wind, sea and sailor. The flight of the Hansa also symbolizes
an escape from a repetitive cycle – changing the established pattern or
taking a different approach. Boats bearing the Hansa insignia are
products of universal design and a philosophy of inclusion, aiming to
make sailing more accessible and appealing.
